WgIRD OHOST STORIES, A P«r»i*t«nt Dr««m That Brought a Murd«r«r to - In a certain town in the province of. Jlinskj west Itosais, a peasant suddenly dieappeared. Ho was last seen alive leaving the church and going,home to his sister, with whom he lived, ■ - , One day in a dreamhia sister eaw her brother, He looked pale, his eyes were closed and his lege were broken. He told her that he had been murdered by her hnoband and his brothers. He mentioned the ok- act data and place of the deed and added that his body was put into a sack and thrown into the river. He wanted her to find Me body and id. jtrivt* It ItliStoM I d tZ\n fAintti*; gcm : n • tr.,, Hie,*. X ■ .V-. ■ . ‘ ’ ....,, times, and at last 'the sister sought the edviqc of her ‘aged father-in- law, He' told her that it would ho diiUault to find the body, and if the culprits were brought to justice her children would he left orphans. So after consideration the sister gave tlie matter up. . . But her brother’s spirit would not rest and appeared in a dream in tlie above manner to a friend of his. Soon ,the news spread to the local authorities; who took the matter up. The river was searched, and the body was found in the exact spot in­ dicated. This discovery had- Buch an ef­ fect on the murderers that they at once confessed. They gave all the details of .the crime—how' after service they took him to a mill where they all dined, and on leav­ ing for home they attacked their Victim, Finding that the sack was too small, "they cut off his legs, tied a stone to Ins neck and tlirew lum in the river, •Tlie above is certified to be perfectly accurate by the local authorities. A Russian paper relates the fol­ lowing as having-occurred in an offi­ cer’s family, at tlie time of the out­ break of cholera. The. eldest son was in an office in a town nearly 20(1 miles from his home. One morning the family was vis­ ited by an undertaker,- who said- he had received orders" from a person, whom he; described, to make a coffin foy their eldest son. The father re­ plied that the son was far away and that rail the family Were alive and well. ' ' Directly afterward a message came that the eldest son had died of cholera at the same time that his exact similitude had been seen by. •the undertaker. Squaring th» Circle. ■ One of the problems that are as old as the science of mathematics " is that of squaring the circle. By squaring tlie circle is meant the problem -of* finding the sides ,of a square exactly equal in area to a circle of given diameter. To do this either by, elementary geometry or by expressing it arithmetically in com­ mensurable numbers has been found to he an impossibility. In other words, thcYhtio between the diame­ ter and the Circumference of a cir­ cle- cannot be exactly found oven though in the division the decimal ho carried out to 10,000 figures. The above being the exact facts in the, case, wc will say that the problem of squaring the circle is one that has long been given up by the mathema­ ticians as insoluble. Apple Wal«r. Apple water is a refreshing drink- for an invalid, It can be made with 1 either baked or raw apples, the for­ mer to ho preferred- when time is 'short, especially if the apples are baketUnfl in readiness. They should be sour and when cold should he immersed in boiling water to cover them. 3-et ihem stand until cool, then straip and sweeten to taste. For the' liquor made from raw ap- 1 U-s three or four juicy sour apples of fine fiavor should he pared and sliced. Four over them two cupfuls of boiling water and let them stand three hours. Strain, sweeten and add a small piece of ice. A pleasant flavor is added if the rind of a lem­ on is mixed with the slices of apple. Knew How It Would Be.

Toward the latter years of the’ Duke of ‘Vy'ollmgton’s life it was next-to impossible to coax or whee­ dle liis autograph out of him; All the Biratagems used to get a reply from him to letters failed, He cither did not answer them at all or di­ rectedhis private secretary to do so, and thus the famous signature of “Wellington” became a rarity high­ ly prized by collectors. . Apropos of this London Answers tells of a London lady who had an album ‘ garnished with the auto­ graphs of most of the great men of the day,, hut wanted tliat of the “great captain.” She mentioned her distress to a friend, a certainMr. IL, and a few days after he, to her great surprise and 'pleasure, brought her a note from tlie hand of the victor of Waterloo, It ran thus: Field Marshal tho Duka of 'Wellington never ordered a pair of brace* of Messrs. Blmpkln, Tf F. M. ’the Duke of Welling­ ton had ordered the articles, ho could not forget it, F. XI. tho Duko of Wellington always pays for his braces. This was a very odd document for a lady’s album, but its authenticity was undoubted, and it therefore found the best place torthe interest­ ing collection. Tlie way to which this singular note was elicited was this: Mr. H. filled up one of the bank­ ruptcy court forms and signed it, informing the duke that to winding up the1'affairs of Messrs. Simpkto lie (the assignee) found on their hooks the sum of 6s. fid. due by liis grace for a pair of braces, which he re­ quested the duke Would immediately pay or have paid. Mr. II/s ruse was founded on pure fiction, hut it suc­ ceeded. ^ Th» W*l*h 8.rv*nt Girl. She came into the drawing room (there were, visitors present) and Said: “If youplease, WilliamHughes has come.
